Chapter 195: Warning (3)
"If there is a man you wish to know, then get to know him. You don’t need to question me," said Penelope.
"It turns out that I must, since there might be something between the two of you-"
"I have been doing my best to be polite to you, but I draw the line at what you are trying to say now. I suggest you stop now before you try to cross waters you cannot get out of," Penelope warned Harper.
There had been plenty of questions about her marriage to Tyrion, but they had all been about why it happened so fast. Was assuming that one of them had an interest in other people what would the town turn to now?
"You did not allow me to finish. It is not I who thinks there is something more to your relationship with this man. It is he who thinks it," Harper clarified.
"And there is danger in you repeating it. We are not friends for me to think your intentions are pure for speaking of this. I am a married woman. If there is a man you wish to be close to, you don’t need to be worried about where I stand with this person," said Penelope.
Harper should have enough sense to think of how this all sounded.
"I didn’t think you would stray away from the prince," Harper said, keeping an eye on the prince.
"Then why must you ask me about this stranger? Again, we are not friends. I don’t have any interest in who you court, and there has to be a reason why you would not go to your friends to speak about this man. You should leave my sight," Penelope advised Harper.
